"Then I won't disturb you. Get some rest soon."
Hyuga Mio took a step back and left the room.
Mio's actions just now… weren't they a bit too intimate?
Orochimaru looked at the closed door, the lingering scent of Hyuga Mio's shampoo beside him.
I must be overthinking it… I should finish the last part of the story quickly!
Orochimaru didn't think too much, focusing his energy on writing.
Land of Waves
The seaside at night was very quiet. Moonlight spilled onto the sea, waves gently caressed the sand, and a peaceful atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
The sound of splashing water rang out, and three dark figures ran across the surface of the sea.
"We got the formula!"
"As long as we can successfully leave the Land of Waves, we'll be set for life!"
"And here I thought White Snake Company's security was so strict; it's nothing special after all!"
Boom—!
A splash erupted on the sea, and two massive red giant scorpions blocked their path.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Ashu stood on the back of a giant scorpion, arms crossed, looking at the three clan members who had used Ketsuryugan genjutsu to steal the company's formula. His red Ketsuryugan eyes glared at them in anger, and he roared, "The company treated you well; is this how you repay the company?!"
"Ashu… don't get in our way! The company only treated us well to use us!"
"As long as we can leave the Land of Waves, we can live a high-class life with the formula!"
"Ashu, get lost! Don't stand in front, or don't blame us for killing you!"
At this moment, Ashu was merely an obstacle preventing them from living a high-class life, and they would not consider their kinship.
"No choice. I'll just have to subdue you first and then apologize!"
Ashu formed hand seals, and streams of water shot into the sky, transforming into various animals and insects, among which were Chimera Bugs.
"Then don't blame us for being ruthless and disregarding our kinship!"
The three cut their palms and used their Ketsuryugan ability, manipulating the seawater beneath their feet to attack Ashu.
The sound of colliding water streams continuously echoed on the sea surface.
Under the siege of the three, Ashu quickly fell into a disadvantage. A Kunai pierced his chest, and then he was kicked away.
Damn it… Ashu rolled and lay face down on the water, his bright red blood staining the seawater. His consciousness gradually blurred, and before his eyes appeared the day Orochimaru brought hope to the Chinoike Clan.
Orochimaru-sama… I'm sorry… I failed your trust… "Hurry, let's go!"
The three realized that their entanglement with Ashu here had wasted too much time. If the company's people discovered them, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Smoke drifted with the wind, entering the bodies of the three, and they found that they had lost control of their bodies.
"Do you think the company's belongings are so easy to take?"
Splash—!
The sound of chains rang out, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains wrapped around the three. Smoke drifted out from their bodies, coalescing to form the figure of a woman.
"Ms. Chigusa, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The woman respectfully looked at Uzumaki Chigusa, who was walking over. Beside her was Uzumaki Nano, who had opened the giant scroll and was preparing to activate a Sealing Technique.
"Is that it? I haven't even used the Sealing Technique I prepared!"
Uzumaki Nano looked angrily at the three useless guys, saying with disappointment, "How could you be controlled so easily? Use your Bloodline Limit, the Ketsuryugan, to resist!"
"Kira, well done."
Uzumaki Chigusa patted Uzumaki Nano's head and said with a smile, "Nano, prepare the Eye Sealing Curse Mark."
Looking at the three Chinoike Clan members who had stolen the company's formula, Uzumaki Chigusa's red eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashing within them. The Land of Waves was the Uzumaki Clan's second home, and she didn't want any accidents to happen there.
She hadn't expected Orochimaru to be right; there were indeed unstable elements within the Chinoike Clan.
"I know, I know! Don't pat my head, I'm not a child anymore! I'm already an adult!"
Uzumaki Nano said angrily, stamping her foot. She quickly walked towards the three, formed hand seals, and slammed a palm onto one person's chest. The Eye Sealing Curse Mark appeared on his forehead, and his eyes changed from Ketsuryugan back to ordinary purple eyes.
Uzumaki Chigusa placed a hand on each of the other two's chests, and the Eye Sealing Curse Mark appeared on their foreheads.
"You… what did you do to me?!"
The three discovered in horror that they couldn't use their Ketsuryugan anymore, as if their Ketsuryugan had never been awakened.
"What a reckless fellow."
Kira used the Smoke Sealing Technique to seal the wound on Ashu's chest while pulling out the Kunai. She then lifted his chin, forcing him to swallow a Healing Pill.
The unconscious Ashu was forced to swallow the Healing Pill, and the wound on his chest healed rapidly.
Ashu woke from his coma, finding that the three clan members who had betrayed the company had been subdued. Looking at Kira beside him, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Miss Kira, I've caused you trouble."
"Ms. Chigusa, how should we deal with them?"
Kira looked at Uzumaki Chigusa. This Uzumaki Clan clan head had a very good relationship with Orochimaru-sama, so naturally, she had to ask for her opinion on such matters.
"Leave it to Aokawa. This matter involves the company's interests, so how can a conclusion be drawn so casually? They must have been hired to steal the company's formula."
Uzumaki Chigusa retracted the chains wrapped around the three. She was very curious who had hired them to steal the company's formula.
